Not sure why BB&B is the only source.....

......but I have a set of 3 that are second only to my knives as "most
used" must-have kitchen imps. Real silicone will not melt with
typical cooking heats. I use my sil spats for pan frying eggs, etc,
all the time. Even left in a pan, they have never melted.

nb

I have neither a scale nor a digital thermometer. I do have an instant-read thermometer, but it isn't digital.

I have never had a need for a scale, and can't see a need for one unless one is spending
most of their time seriously baking. Which I don't.

I have both Pyrex (Doris, are yours olive green and white?? LOL.) and stainless mixing bowls, but usually use the Pyrex.

My silicone spatulas all have wooden handles. I'd prefer one piece to

When my parent were married in 1950 one of their wedding gifts was a
very large set of Revere Ware pots, skillets and bowls. Those things
took a real beating over the years and Mom was still using them when she
passed away in 2005. When we were cleaning out Mom's apartment my
sister, in one of her truly bone-headed moves, donated all of Mom's
Revere Ware to the Salvation Army. I managed, somehow, to keep the 6 qt
dutch oven with its lid. I'm not sure how I refrained from killing my
sister for that move, but she still walks among the living.

Over the past few years I've rebuilt my Revere Ware collection from
eBay, buying only those items with copper clad bottoms and the same
vintage as Mom's set. I also had to replace the bowls. I don't *need*
it, but I want to add a 4qt sauce pan. Haven't been able to find one
that the owner claims will sit flat and is the same vintage as the rest
of mine. Maybe one of these days!!

I have no clue what happened to my grandma's Revere. I would have loved to
have it but my dad probably assumed that I didn't need it as I had my own
set. Plus getting it here from Wichita would have been a problem. He had
flown back there.

She polished the copper bottoms of the pots every time she used them.

The newer ones aren't so great. And my mom's although old did not sit flat.

The store I frequent is quite nice. And I love the coupons. I found
out that any of the ones you get in the mail (as opposed to printing
out yourself) do not expire.

I am just before remodeling my bathroom and there are lots of things
there I can use.

I almost never use my Pyrex bowls. I usually automatically reach for the
stainless steel. They are lighter, easier to hold, unbreakable, and
easy to clean.

It's a set of 4 in different colours. The big one is red, the next one
is green, the next one is orange, and the little one is yellow.

The author was referring to baking -- that's why no mention of knives etc.

For smaller bowls (less then 2 qts) I prefer glass, they're heavier
and stay put, small ss bowls are light and tend to skate. But for
larger capacity bowls I much prefer ss. Some 20 years ago I bought a
set of ss bowls from W-S and I love them, very good as salad bowls and
excelent for mixing as they are deeper than most.
http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/stainless-steel-mixing-bowls-with-lids/?pkey=e%7Cstainless%2Bsteel%2Bbowls%7C3%7Cbest%7C0 %7C1%7C24%7C%7C2&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules
I just read the reviews at the site. People are complaining about the
lids not being air tight, mine are twenty years old and the lids are
indeed air tight, however they are not designed for transporting
liquids... I suspect those people put the plastic lids in the
dishwasher and they warped, and/or have dropped the bowls so that they
are out of round. These ss bowls are heavier weight and stronger than
most, if they are no longer air tight then they've been abused.

I don't have any kind other than stainless steel... in every

By sane, I meant what they charge for the set of 4 silicone spatulas.
She must shop more than I do. I go into BBB, buy what I want and
leave. End of story. I like the coupons too. It means 20% off $5,
which takes care of tax and puts a little money back into my wallet.
She can buy them online with an online coupon, buy them online without
a coupon or go elsewhere and pay more. I think she goes down the pay
more route more often than she'd like to admit... especially when she
buys cases of food to save money and ends up throwing most of it away.

Me, too. I'm going there on Wednesday. We need a new mattress pad for
the RV and some new sheets as well. They also have the K-cups coffee and
I use the coupons there.

I'm a kitchen chatchka junkie, as was my mother before me, BB&B, Kitchen
Collection at the outlet mall, Target, Dollar Tree, even the houseware
aisle in the supermarket hold major attractions for me. :-)

I have a one piece silicone spatula that is one of my favorite kitchen

shop there on Tuesday so I get the geezer discount.

My mom and my Aunt Pearl, may they both rest in peace, had full sets of
Revere ware. Pearl's, who was kind of obsessive compulsive, pots
gleamed. Mom's, who was much more laid back, had pots that you'd have
to look closely at to see that the bottoms were copper. Both were
excellent cooks.

Mom also had a few pieces of Wagnerware Magnalite cast aluminum. I had
a set of them as well but lost them when we wrecked the RV in 2005.
Can't get them any more.

I remember those multi-colored ones....my 4-piece set was a wedding shower gift to me in 1962. I use them
all the time. It's a wonder I haven't broken any. The olive and white pattern is of a simple flower/vine and
the placement of the green color is reversed on bowl #2 and 4, with the outside being green with white on
bowl 1 and 3, and white with green on 2 and 4. I have used them constantly for 54 years. ;-)

The noise of a metal utensil mixing something in a metal bowl is to me like a fingernail on a blackboard.
That's why I use the Pyrex ones so much.

No need to use metal utensils for mixing, don't you own any wooden
spoons... if not you can always wear earplugs! LOL I can't remember
the last time I used a metal spoon for mixing anything in any bowl,
usually a wooden spoon, sometimes a plastic spoon, and often one of
those sillycone spatulas. And when a metal bowl contains liquid, and
especially batter, even with a metal spoon the sound is deadened.

Under what circumstances does that happen? I'm usually using a
silicone spatula when I mix something in the metal bowls. If it's
something that needs to be beaten with a whisk or electric mixer, I
need a deeper bowl for that - so I use my two quart measuring cup.

A limited subset of baking. No rolling pin!

I use strainers in the kitchen quite often, but I don't think I've ever used one for baking.

I rarely buy cases of food. I did buy a case of Campbell's chicken and
noodle soup for about $4.00. Even if I give the remaining cans away, I
didn't lose money. I buy some vegetables by the case because we eat that
many. I did buy that case of Taco Bell sauce that is horrible. Had I liked
it, it wouldn't have been a waste. I have bought fruit spread and seed
butter by the case but again, even if we didn't eat all of it, I was still
saving money. I did have to buy some things by the case when Angela had to
eat gluten free only because they didn't come any other way.

These days every store sells gluten free and there are a lot more products
than there were when she needed the diet. It didn't used to be that way.

I get most of my cooking things at Target or Sur La Table. Sometimes
Walmart, Fred Meyer, Big Lots, Dollar Tree or Amazon. I always try to look
for the best price and I pretty well know what other stores charge. I just
haven't found many bargains at Bed Bath and Beyond.

What was the price? Dollar Tree has them for $1.

Not sure the year on mine. The largest bowl was blue and it broke some time
ago. Then there is red, yellow and the smallest is green. The paint is
chipping off though.

Well, if they had them for any other price that would be just wrong.

My mom had the same kind of tongs for spaghetti when I was a kid. Not
sure, but maybe the kind we use today wasn't available back then.

Not even for quick sifting?

That was the only kind available until maybe 20 years ago. Mom had
the short handled type (but she used a strainer for pasta, as did I),
then I found it with long handles for BBQ. Soon after that, the types
we use now came out. I still prefer metal, but I do have one medium
length that's silicone tipped to use in non stick pans.

Never. I don't bake that often, and the baking I do doesn't require sifting. So I don't own a sifter. So, if I did need to sift, the right kind of strainer would work as a substitute. But I've not encountered the need.

Pray tell how do you serve your pasta with a strainer?
